I LOVE FOOD! This blog is all about cooking, baking and eating. I will chronicle my attempts in whipping out dishes from recipes I've found on the web, my personal opinions on restaurant food and my efforts in making Filipino dishes that my Italian husband will like.

When I learned how to bake, the first thing I made from scratch is banana-walnut bread. I often make it now to salvage over ripe bananas. The recipe from http://www.foodnetwork.com/ is so good. The banana bread turned out yummy and moist.

ingredients

1 1/4 c unbleached all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp fine salt

2 large eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup sugar

3 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed with a fork

1/2 cup toasted walnut pieces

directions

Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl, set aside

Whisk the eggs and vanilla together.

Lightly brush a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with butter.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter, mixing until incorporated.

Add the bananas, the mixture will appear to be curdled.

With a rubber spatula, mix in the flour mixture. Fold in the nuts.

Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
